I ask that you would…

I ask that you would reconsider scrapping the CCMLEA and the Cap and Trade program. After listening to a presentation by Ontario's Environmental Commissioner Dianne Saxe, I believe we need to seriously consider how dire the situation regarding carbon emissions is and that we are running out of time to solve the problem. I've heard the Environment Minister state that the government will target large source polluters. This is a good step, but transportation, meaning all of us driving cars and trucks is a very large source of carbon dioxide and must also be addressed. Going forward stringent targets must be set, we must get regular reports to see if we are meeting the targets and look at strategies if we are not meeting these targets.

Please reconsider retrofits to homes, the promotion of a green economy and jobs, the encouragement of a transition to electric cars, more money into public transit.

Let's do this for our kids and grandkids
